You guys, I want you to dig deep and really try for me here, okay?
Tell me — or at least make an educated guess — is this the Republican platform of 2024 or the Democratic platform of 1992?
Go!
Alright, time's up; pencils down.
Ohhh, it was the 1992 Democratic platform.
You were so close!
Maybe next time!
Seriously though, look at some of this stuff:
The Revolution of 1992 is about restoring America's economic greatness. We need to rebuild America by abandoning the something-for-nothing ethic of the last decade and putting people first for a change. Only a thriving economy, a strong manufacturing base, and growth in creative new enterprise can generate the resources to meet the nation's pressing human and social needs. An expanding, entrepreneurial economy of high-skill, high-wage jobs is the most important family policy, urban policy, labor policy, minority policy and foreign policy America can have.
The Revolution of 1992 is about putting government back on the side of working men and women — to help those who work hard, pay their bills, play by the rules, don't lobby for tax breaks, do their best to give their kids a good education and to keep them away from drugs, who want a safe neighborhood for their families, the security of decent, productive jobs for themselves, and a dignified life for their parents.
…
We must also tackle spending, by putting everything on the table; eliminate nonproductive programs; achieve defense savings; reform entitlement programs to control soaring health care costs; cut federal administrative costs by 3 percent annually for four years; limit increases in the ‘present budget' to the rate of growth in the average American's paycheck; apply a strict ‘pay as you go' rule to new non-investment spending; and make the rich pay their fair share in taxes.
Making the rich pay their fair share of taxes might not sound like a MAGA idea, until you realize that the rich find easy ways around paying taxes, which Trump has mentioned himself.
A military structure for the 1990's and beyond must be built on four pillars: First, a survivable nuclear force to deter any conceivable threat, as we reduce our nuclear arsenals through arms control negotiations and other reciprocal action. Second, conventional forces shifted toward projecting power wherever our vital national interests are threatened. This means reducing the size of our forces in Europe, while meeting our obligations to NATO, and strengthening our rapid deployment capabilities to deal with new threats to our security posed by renegade dictators, terrorists, international drug traffickers, and the local armed conflicts that can threaten the peace of entire regions. Third, maintenance of the two qualities that make America's military the best in the world — the superiority of our military personnel and of our technology. These qualities are vital to shortening any conflict and saving American lives. Fourth, intelligence capabilities redirected to develop far more sophisticated, timely and accurate analyses of the economic and political conditions that can fuel new conflicts.
Meanwhile, we've stopped taking international drug traffickers seriously at our southern border and we've allowed our military to go woke with its DEI nonsense.
So next time someone tells you you're a far-right extremist, just go ahead and remind them that you're not; you're simply a 1992 Democrat.
